All lectures and study materials are available electronically. Assignments will be submitted and returned marked electronically.
Description of program
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) concerns the application of scientific principles to understand the risks to the safety and health of people in workplaces and to take action to control these.
Occupational health and safety is a multidisciplinary profession examining the technical and social aspects of work with applications in most industries and commerce.
The program focuses on the science and technology of risk management through assessment and evaluation of hazards and development of specific control mechanisms.
Learn how to apply a risk management model to hazards in the workplace, allowing you to recognise the context, evaluate the risk, and generate control solutions. You will use the model of OHS Professional Practice for problem solving which involves gathering information about the issue, diagnosing the issue, developing and implementing appropriate interventions, and evaluating their effectiveness, all the while communicating with relevant stakeholders.
You will develop advanced knowledge in:
the global concepts of health, safety and work, and the implications that these have in organisations
the socio-political and organisational context in which work occurs and how this impacts work design and its effects on the workers
the physical, ergonomic and psychosocial causes of fatalities, injuries and ill health arising from work
recognition of hazards, assessment and evaluation of their risk, and development of suitable controls
Auspiced by
You will learn to apply these concepts in a range of contexts, allowing you to develop confidence and proficiency in your professional OHS and occupational hygiene practice. Many of your assessments will incorporate Work Integrated Learning (WIL) by focusing on OHS issues in your work situation.
